Are you seeking an Independent Non-Executive Director for your Fintech (payments, digital assets, MiFID, banking, insurance and funds?)
|
A key requirement of well-established and well-regulated financial services jurisdictions is the appointment of independent non-executive directors, including the role of the Chairperson, to the boards of regulated firms. Our Peter Oakes is Chairperson and INED of fintechs. If you are seeking someone to fulfil the regulatory role who is pre-approved for such roles, please contact Peter Oakes, Founder of Fintech Ireland for a confidential discussion.
If Peter is unable to advance an INED role, he works with many other suitably qualified persons who may suit you and he has established both FintechDirector.com and FintechDirectors.com to assist you. |

"Formerly a director of enforcement at the Central Bank of Ireland, and founder of the advisory group Fintech Ireland in 2014, you’d be inclined to listen to Oakes when he says that Ireland is doing well when it comes to attracting fintechs. A non-executive director of a number of firms ... Oakes’ extensive regulation expertise has been vital to many firms making the first steps on their start-up journey..." Peter Oakes ranked in the 100 Most Powerful People in Tech in Ireland Business Post, Charlie Taylor 29 June 2024
